But oh my, 7 weird things about me - how to I narrow them down? *LOL*

Here goes....

1. I still have the love letters from my first boyfriend in third grade. He should actually receive an award for those! Let me quote: "You are the most beautiful girl in town". "You get more beautiful every day". "You are the best singer in the choir".... and so on. Well, as the story unfolds... he decided he did not like me anymore, so he tried to pawn me off to his best friend. I didn't go for that deal :-))). I actually ran into him a few years ago (he still lives in my hometown) - nice guy, a couple of kids... (and hopefully NOT reading my blog!)
2. I have been to Israel (with King's kids, a ministry of Youth with a Mission)
3. I'm afraid of heights, and it's getting worse as I get older.
4. I had a brain tumor (benign, thank God!) when I was 20.
5. I speak 5 different languages: English, German and Swiss German, French and Italian. The last two have greatly suffered since moving to the US, but they are still in there somewhere...
6. I'm very, very athletically challenged, and have terrible hand-eye coordination. Yes, I can ski and get to the bottom of the slope, I can swim without drowning, but that's about it. 
7. I'm artistic, but in a very abstract way. Don't expect me to draw anything realistic, and I have no eye for interior decorating or yard designing. I just don't see it! But give me an existing flower bed, and I'll create something beautiful, or give me a bunch of craft supplies, and I'll make a collage for you. I love to play with shapes and colors, textures and so on, though! I knitted my first sweater when I was in fourth grade (with help from my Mom).

And  here is a baby picture of me! Cute, huh :-))))
